Kurt Student did not rescue Mussolini from Gran Sasso. SS Obersturmbahnfuherer Otto Skorzeny spearheaded the rescue.

(read: 'Obersturmbannführer' or 'Obersturmbannfuehrer' instead of 'Obersturmbahnfuherer' --Wolf4 (talk) 14:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC))

More like Skorzeny tagged along with a handful of SS men and then took credit for the whole operation that the Luftwaffe had planned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.235.31.191 (talk) 21:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I edited the article to add more information on Student in the interwar period,but I'm not exactly sure how to cite sources, so I'm going to list them here:I used www.eagle19.freeserve.co.uk/student.htm, as well as an article called, "The Father of Airborne Warfare" by William E. Welsh from World War 2 magazine, which I retrieved through Ebscohost.Some of the information can be confirmed on Axis Biographical Research's [www.geocities.com/~orion47/]page on Kurt Student.I also meant to put 'fallschrimjager' in italics, but it didn't work.

There seems to be a discrepancy between this article and the ones on Gotthard Heinrici and the Battle of Berlin, both of which say that Student assumed control of the military after Heinrici was dismissed. If that was the case, then he could not have been captured in Schleswig-Holstein. Discuss?

What happend to him afther the WW2?

[edit] Birthplace

The German WP says he was born in Birkholz, presumably the one in the Province of Saxony, now part of Saxony-Anhalt. This link says he was born in Birkholz, de:Landkreis Züllichau-Schwiebus, part of the Province of Brandenburg. This book mentions Birkholz, Brandenburg (East Prussia); possibly a reference to Ushakovo? Olessi (talk) 07:37, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
